I got the recon Xtreme amber scanning one #26416X from StreetSide Auto for $76.87.
Price was $85.41, with free shipping. I used promo code SAVE for 10% off whcih got me down to the $76.87. On recon site it is $129.95 as a point of reference.
Here is where I got it from (ordered but not here yet I mean):

I also got the recon had it on for 2 years now and has made it through snow and rain no problem. Definitely recommend hard wiring it in like said before and if you get the fire and ice one your reverse wire is the black and pink and has to be wired to the seven pin not the 4 there is no reverse wire in that. I was even a little skeptic about how long they lasted so I actually hardwired a 4 prong plug off my seven and just plugged the bar right into that for an easy switch out if need be and sealed it all up in loom and a ****load of electrical tape.

It is weird mounting them on the 09's. They mounted flush to the left side (under the tailgate) but the right side has a piece of metal that sticks out right where the mount point of my LED lightbar was.

Bye F150, hello F250
In my instruction post, I showed how you can overcome that. Bascially, move the mounting tab to the right about 3" with a 1/4" bit. An odd tailgate area design for the truck though. (scratches head)
